Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Wes Streeting and Martin Wrigley

Tuesday 19th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Martin Wrigley (Newton Abbot) (LD)]

T9. I have been shocked this week by all the major GP groups in my constituency detailing their financial situations. They are all close to the edge and are considering the options of bankruptcy, redundancies or handing in their contracts. What urgent respite can the Secretary of State give them?

[Wes Streeting]

I am in no doubt about the state that general practice was left in by our Conservative predecessors. That is why, in making decisions about funding allocations for the year ahead, we are taking into account all the pressures that general practice is under, as we clean up the mess left by the Conservatives.
